Keep children away from the door when opening or

closing it as they may bump themselves on the door

or catch their ﬁngers in the door.

WARNING: Microwave heating of beverages can result

in delayed eruptive boiling,therefore care must be taken

when handling the container; To prevent this situation

ALWAYS allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after

the oven has been switched o so that the temperature

can equalize. Stir during heating, if necessary, and

ALWAYS stir after heating.

In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID

instructions:

•

Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at

least 10 minutes.

•

Cover with a clean, dry dressing.

•

Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions.

CAUTION

Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave

ovens; DO NOT use any metallic containers, Dinnerware

CHECKING THAT YOUR OVEN IS OPERATING

CORRECTLY

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is

working correctly at all times. If you are in doubt, refer to the section entitled

“What to Do if You are in Doubt or Have a Problem” on the next page.

The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The

turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than the

maximum (100 % - 900 W) is used, the water takes longer to boil.

Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the door.

Place a glass of water on the turntable. Close the door.

HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released

enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or

the colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

• Defrost

• Reheat

• Cook

Cooking Principle

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron

reﬂected at cavity and are distributed uniformly as

the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus

cooked evenly.

2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch

(2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the

food.

SETTING THE TIME

Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. When power is supplied, “:0”, “88:88” or

“12:00” is automatically displayed on the display.

Please set the current time. The time can be displayed in either the 24- hour or 12-

hour notation. You must set the clock:

• When you ﬁrst install your microwave oven

• After a power failure

Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from summer

and winter time.

Auto energy saving function

If you do not select any function when appliance is in the middle of

setting or operating with temporary stop condition, function is canceled

and clock will be displayed after 25 minutes.

Oven Lamp will be turned o after 5 minutes with door open condition.

1. To display the time in the...

24-hour notation

12-hour notation

Then press the Clock ( ) button once or twice

2. Turn the dial knob to set the hour.

3. Press the ( ) button.

4. Turn the dial knob to set the minute.

5. When the right time is displayed, press the ( ) button to

start the clock.

Result: The time is displayed whenever you are

not using the microwave oven.

The oven causes interference with radios or televisions

• Slight interference may be observed on televisions or radios when the oven is

operating. This is normal.

• Solution: install the oven away from televisions, radios and aerials.

• If interference is detected by the oven’s microprocessor, the display may be reset.

• Solution: Disconnect the power plug and reconnect it. Reset the time.

“E-24” message indicates

• The “E-24” message is automatically activated prior to the microwave oven

overheating. Should the “E-24” message be activated, then depress the “Stop/

Eco” key to utilize the initialization mode.

“E-15” message indicates

• The “E-15” message is automatically actived when you open the door or push

Stop/Eco key on Sensor Cook Mode. Press Stop/Eco key to return to initialization

mode.

If the above guidelines do not enable you to solve the problem, then contact your

local SAMSUNG customer service centre.

Please have the following information read;

• The model and serial numbers, normally printed on the rear of the oven

• Your warranty details

• A clear description of the problem

Then contact your local dealer or SAMSUNG aftersales service.

3. Cooking times vary according to the container used and the properties of the

food:

• Quantity and density

• Water content

• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking

continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.

Standing times speciﬁed in recipes and in this booklet must therefore

be respected to ensure:

• Even cooking of the food right to the centre

• The same temperature throughout the food

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT OR HAVE A PROBLEM

Becoming familiar with a new appliance always takes a little time. If you have any of

the problems listed below, try the solutions given. They may save you the time and

inconvenience of an unnecessary service call.

The following are normal occurrences.

• Condensation inside the oven

• Air ﬂow around the door and outer casing

• Light reﬂection around the door and outer casing

• Steam escaping from around the door or vents

The food is not cooked at all

• Have you set the timer correctly and pressed the Start/+30 s ( ) button?

• Is the door closed?

• Have you overloaded the electric circuit and caused a fuse to blow or a breaker

to be triggered.

The food is either overcooked or undercooked

• Was the appropriate cooking length set for the type of food?

• Was an appropriate power level chosen?

Sparking and cracking occur inside the oven (arcing)

• Have you used a dish with metal trimmings?

• Have you left a fork or other metal utensil inside the oven?

• Is aluminum foil too close to the inside walls?

power level indicated.

If you select a... Then the cooking time must be...

Higher power level
